Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life and environment but over the last few decades the water quality has been deteriorated due to its over exploitation. Water quality is essential parameter to be studied when the overall focus is sustainable development keeping mankind at focal point. Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in rural as well as in urban areas and over 94% of the drinking water demand is met by groundwater. The study has been carried out to assess the ground water quality and its suitability for drinking purpose in most rural habitations of Bassi tehsil of Jaipur district, Rajasthan, India. For this purpose, 50 water samples being collected from hand pumps, open wells and bore wells of villages of study area were analysed for different physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, chloride, nitrate, fluoride and total dissolved solids.
Pollution Research
Groundwater has been considered as an important source of water supply due to its relatively low susceptibility to pollution in comparison with surface water, and its large storage capacity. It should be mentioned that water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drinks or uses or lives (in) it. When humans drink polluted water it often has serious consequences on their health. Water pollution can also make water unsuited for the desired use. In this context, an attempt has been made to assess the ground water quality of Ujjain city. Samples were collected from 17 locations of Ujjain city from various ground water sources for summer season and analysed for physico-chemical parameters .The results of analysis were compared with the Indian standards (BIS, IS 10500:1991) of drinking water quality parameters. The pH values of all samples indicate with in desirable limit. Turbidity, alkalinity, t...

The degrading environment, polluted and limited resources of useable water, bad quality of water, scarcity of water supply are such global issues which are a matter of worry all over the world. Thus, along with surface water, ground water has also become a significant water resource. Both surface water and ground water interact with each other. These interactions are affected by numerous natural phenomena and anthropogenic activities all around the water bodies. Few essential and heavy metal contents in Ground water and Surface Water samples from selected sites of Sanganer area, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Ground water and Surface water qualities were compared with the International standard values. The data obtained was subjected to statistical analyses. Sources of metal salts were identified. Both the Ground water and Surface water were found to be contaminated with a comparable rate. Amongst all the metals, nutrient metals were f...

The present study deals with statistical analysis of Physico-chemical parameters of ground water quality in Bassi Tehsil of District Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. For this ground water samples from 71 sampling sites of 50 villages of study area were collected from tube wells and hand pumps of varying depths in pre and post monsoon seasons and analyzed for ten physico-chemical parameters namely pH, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Nitrate, Fluoride, Total Dissolved Solid and Electrical Conductivity. Analysis of results showed that almost all parameters were exceeding the permissible limits prescribed by BIS, ICMR and WHO. The quality of ground water has been assessed by calculating correlation coefficient (r) for every pair of parameters. Regression equations were also being formulated for pairs having highly significant (0.8
Assessment of ground water quality of Hamirpur District, Uttar Pradesh, India
The study was designed to predict the water qualities at different areas of Hamirpur District Uttar Pradesh, India. Physico-chemical parameters were investigated TDS, pH, fluoride, nitrate, chloride, sulphate, hardness and alkalinity. The results were compared with drinking water quality standards prescribed by the Beauro of Indian Standards (BIS). Ground water sampling carried out in January 2014 to April 2014. Most of the water samples were found to have total dissolved solids, alkalinity and hardness values more than their permissible level. The values of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni and Co) also determine in collected water samples. The high values of these parameters might have health complications and so they need attention. The above studies are helpful to understand the ground water quality and their subsequent fitness or unfitness of water for drinking domestic purpose at various sites undertaken.
Assessment of Ground Water Quality Using Water Quality Index in Western Zone of Tamil Nadu, India
Groundwater plays a vital role as important source of drinking water in rural and urban areas of India. It accounts for nearly 80 per cent of the rural domestic water needs, and 50 per cent of the urban water needs in India. Over exploitation of ground water has become a major challenge not only to the present civilization and also for the future generations. Day by day increase of industrial areas in many places, lead to disposal of industrial effluent in to the water bodies without any proper treatments is one of the reasons for ground water quality deterioration. Maintaining the quality of water is very essential in order to utilize the resource effectively. The study was proposed to calculate the Water quality index (WQI) of western zone of Tamil Nadu for two decades (1994 to 2013). Data has been collected from the State Ground and Surface Water Resource Data Centre of Taramani for 20 years. Conventionally it has been used for evaluating the quality of water for water resources and factors included in WQI vary depending upon the designated water uses of the water body and local preferences. In this study water quality index was determined on the basis of 12 physico-chemical parameters like pH, Electrical conductivity(EC), Total dissolved solid (TDS), Total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, Nitrate, HCO3 and Fluoride. The analysis examined for two seasons (pre and post monsoon) and compared. The pH value is lower in Post monsoon as compared to the Pre monsoon and most of the pH values are found to be within the permissible limit of WHO 1971 (6.5 – 8.5). The results clearly showed that first decade had good water quality condition than compared to second decade and post monsoon season the area felt in better water quality condition as compared to pre monsoon season.
